This is one of my absolute favorite fall recipes! I have shared a version in a previous post “5 Healthified Superbowl Sunday Appetizers” but thought it deserved it’s own space 🙂 I recently cooked a big batch for a potluck dinner party so I will share the party size ingredients!

Will you be attending a Superbowl party February 1st? If so, you are most likely going to encounter a lot of yummy snacks and drinks. Wings, chips, nachos, pizza, beer, you name it. I bet these foods aren’t a part of your New Year’s resolution diet. With that said, if you are feeling like you are finally getting on track after the holidays and don’t want to destroy your progress in one day, don’t panic. There are many ways to create healthier versions of your favorite football snacks to avoid “inflating” that waistline. Below I have shared 5 healthy recipes for my favorite football appetizers.

1. Baked Buffalo Tenders

Ingredients:

Boneless skinless chicken breast(1-2 breasts cut into tenders)

Whole wheat bread crumbs

4 Egg whites

Dip tenders into egg whites and then coat in breadcrumbs

I like to enjoy with a side of Bolthouse Blue Cheese Yogurt dressing!
